DESCRIPTION

1) This invention relates to a golf swing muscle warm-up device.

2) Common devices used to warm up and strengthen the muscles areweighted clubs or attachments, neither of which are commonly used duringa golf game. They may take up extra space and add more weight than theyshould be carrying in their golf bags. Golfers always looking forlighter golf bag to carry.

3) I found that by using the new device, I can make use of the balls.Which has been placed as weight in the tubes, during my golf game. I amnot carrying around unnecessary weight.

I can practise my swing while the added weight helps toloosen and stretch my muscles then remove the device and store it backinto my golf bag. The device is compressed of a hub (1). The opening ofthe hub slightly smaller than the lower part of the club shaft once theshaft snapped into the hub the device is attached to the club. There isa lip (2) extending inwards, located on and continue around the fullinside bottom circumference of tubular parts. The lip secures the golfballs and prevent them from falling out.

There is an opening (3), found on each tubular part extend the fulllength of each tubular part to permit a slight expansion of the tub whena golf ball is pushed into the tube. The tubular part of the device (4)are slightly smaller than a golf ball, they hold the golf balls inplace.

Method Use of Device

A—The device easily snapped onto the lower part of the golf club shaft.

B—Three golf balls inserted into the tubular part of device. The tubularparts expands closing the opening of the hub fit, and created the deviceto be ready to use.

The extra weight on the golf dub is to stretch and strengthen themuscles when the club is swinging in a typical golf swing during thepractise and warm up.
